Wehib: Discoveries in Azraq Valley
Archaeological and research studies in Wadi Zqqa reveal the widespread presence of hundreds of ancient stone buildings known as "Dolmens," dating back thousands of years. These structures provide evidence of advanced human settlement, as well as funerary and religious practices from prehistoric and Bronze Age eras. Research indicates that the area contains more than 13 archaeological sites hosting thousands of graves and stone constructions, with over 500 stone buildings in the Al-Rawdah field alone. Studies link these structures to ancient burial methods and rituals, highlighting a cohesive settlement network that includes complex agricultural villages and settlements, reflecting an advanced civilization characterized by organized planning and engineering. Currently, researchers are exploring the relationship between these structures and celestial phenomena through the field of archaeoastronomy, opening new avenues for understanding the cosmological perceptions of ancient communities. The wealth of "Dolmens" as archaeological resources presents an opportunity to develop cultural tourism by integrating them into national tourism routes to boost tourism activity and local development. Additionally, there is potential to connect these sites with other regions, underscoring their historical significance as locations spanning multiple eras that reflect the evolution of human life in the area.
